7 Managing Users and Groups in OCI IAM

User and group management can be configured in several ways, depending on your organization’s identity setup:

• Directly in the IAM Interface in Oracle Cloud Console: Create and manage users and groups through the Identity and Access Management (IAM) interface. See:

  • Creating User
  • Updating User
  • Deleting Users

• Through an external Identity Provider (IdP): Integrate with providers such as Microsoft Entra ID or Okta using SAML 2.0 federation. Authenticated users are automatically synchronized with IAM for centralized access management. See Using SCIM to Synchronize Users and Groups on Oracle Identity Cloud.

• Group Memberships: Users can be added directly to IAM (IDCS) groups or automatically synced from enterprise IdP groups. See Creating IDCS Groups.

• Policies: Assign policies to groups to provide fine-grained control over the actions and permissions available to each set of users. See Setting Password Policies.
